Give Thanks to God the Lord

lyricist: Susan Peterson, 1999
Composer: George Elvey, 1868

Give thanks to God the Lord;

Upon His name now call.

Make known among the peo­ple on earth

What He has done for all.

Sing praise to Him

now sing;

His won­drous acts pro­claim.

Rejoice

all you who seek the Lord;

Come glo­ry in His name.

Look to the Lord’s great strength;

Remember all His deeds.

His judg­ments are in all the earth;

He is the Lord in­deed.

His co­ve­nant e’er will stand;

His oath He’ll ne’er for­get.

A thou­sand ge­ne­ra­tions pass;

God’s word con­tin­ues yet.

Sing to the Lord

all earth;

His sav­ing pow­er pro­claim.

Declare His glo­ry to ev­ery race;

His mar­vel­ous deeds now name.

For great is God the Lord

Most wor­thy of all praise.

He made the heav­ens and the earth;

Fear Him and give Him praise.

Splendor and ma­jes­ty

Before the Lord are found.

Both strength and joy with Him do dwell;

Bring of­fer­ings

come bow down.

Ascribe un­to the Lord

The glo­ry due His name;

The splen­dor of His h­oli­ness

Now wor­ship and pro­claim.

Let now the heav’ns re­joice;

Let earth give glad re­frain.

The world is ’stab­lished

ne’er to be moved;

Tell ev­ery­one God reigns!

Now let the sea re­sound

Be ju­bi­lant

all fields;

The for­est trees will sing for joy;

Earth’s judge is now re­vealed.

Give thanks to God the Lord;

His good­ness now de­clare.

He saves

de­liv­ers from the foe;

His love en­dures for­e’er.

Give thanks un­to His name

And glo­ry in His praise;

Praise to the God of Is­ra­el

For ev­er­last­ing days.
